Col. NJ. Il, Grattan objects TO the title be-
fore his name, which the GLOBE recently ap-
piled TO him in a parapr aph. under the I'M
preston that if he really wasn't coionei ne
ought to be. He writes note TO say that ne
has no right to any title, military or civic,
and he hopes the public won't labor under
the delusion that he is claiming honors to
which he is not entitled. 1t is certainly true
that the gentleman is not responsible Tor the
title being pretixed to his name. His skirts
are clear of that. And, now that the GLOBE mas
ade the amende honorable, will Col. Grattan
gracefully join with his old antagonist III

Prof. A. NJ. Wees has proven himself
most valuable acquisition to the hourishing
village of Redwood Falls He has introduced
many needed reforms and given that part Of
the state the benefit of several valuable in
ventions, the most important of which is
moving machine, to be attached to bicycle
The latest innovation by the professor is the
placing Of Il fire alarm hell on the high school
building, of which he is principal. The OBJ
iect is to drill the pupils SO thoroughly thai
in case of fire they would know just how
| to act and so be easily controlled. The pro-
fessor touches it Off at frequent in
| tervals-when there Is no fre-and
| this is the signal for the scholars
| to form in line and march out in orderly
| fashion. The idea is that if there ever should
! be fire the children would hardly be aware
| Of it before they had gotten safely out of the
! building Prof Welles is Il philanthropist as
well as good bicyclst and drill-master of
| the broom brigade.

Senate Bill 471-providing for the redemp-
| ton of land sold for taXes-which passed both
| the senate and house, but never reached the
governor 10 be signed, was slowed away
among lot of old papers by some one
| through mistake and not found until the
time had expired for the governor to sign
| bills. This bill was one of Auditor Braden' S
pets, and its sad fate grieves him more than
anybody else. Until the past two days there has
been doubt as to who was responsible for the
disappearance of the bill-whether the house
or senate clerks. An examination OF the rec
| ords shows thatit first went to the house from
| the senate, and was amended and sent back
| from the house. This would leave the re-
sponsiblitv with Chief Clerk Cutter or En-
| crossing Clerk Dewey. No crooked work is
| suspected at ali. 1t was only an oversight.

George n. Baxter was sold at Battle Lake

Attorney George N. Baxter in any way-un-

| ably qualified TO talk On this subject.
